The very formulation of the question: "Is it necessary to fight laziness?" can be confusing. It would seem that the answer is obvious. Of course you do! After all, laziness is a bad, unworthy quality. Since ancient times, folk wisdom said: "Laziness is the mother of all vices!" However, not everything is so simple and obvious.
Is it laziness?
First, you need to understand the question: what should be considered laziness? For example, a person does not want to get up early in the morning and go to work. And then, nevertheless, having arrived at the workplace, he fulfills his duties carelessly, far from being in full force. It would seem that there is no doubt about it - lazy! But the characteristics of the organism, the biorhythms of all people are strictly individual. And if this person belongs to "owls", it is really very difficult for him to get up early and enter into a work rhythm. The peak of his performance comes in the second half of the day.
In this case, reproaching a person for laziness, demanding that he fight with it, is unfair and senseless.
It is better to try to agree with the management about changing the work schedule. And if this is not possible, think about finding another place with a freer schedule.
If a person is a biorhythm, but he also stubbornly does not want to get up early in the morning, this does not always indicate laziness. Perhaps such "laziness" is an indicator of fatigue, overexertion, or a symptom of an incipient disease. And if you fight with it, instead of resting or going to a doctor, you can harm your health.
Finally, a persistent reluctance to get up in the early hours may be due to the fact that the person simply does not like his job! He experiences severe psychological discomfort while doing an unloved business.
Then, instead of trying to overcome laziness with an effort of will, it is better to ask the question: "Shouldn't I change my job?"
Examples of useful laziness
Many people have cats at home, which are considered to be very lazy animals. On average, a cat sleeps about 18 hours a day! Nevertheless, she retains vigor and maximum concentration of movements, is ready to make a rapid throw at any time.
If such an example seems unconvincing (they say, the cat is still an animal, but we are talking about people), we can refer to the position of the great self-taught inventor Thomas Edison. Once, when he had already become rich and famous, an employee optimization specialist visited his firm. After seeing how they worked, he advised Edison to fire one young man immediately. Say, this bummer is insolently napping at his workplace, and even with his feet on the table! To which Edison replied with a smile: “This guy recently came up with an innovation that made me a lot of money. As far as I remember, then he was in the same position."
